Slate "Theoretically, What Kind of Hair Dye Would Melt Down Your Face When You're Sweating?"

“I would guess that something like this is the $8 to $15 range.”

If Seventeen magazine’s Traumarauma column did an election fraud–themed special and opened up submissions to septuagenarians, I feel like Rudy Giuliani would have a shoo-in on his hands: “Today while I was giving my press conference (for this coup thing I’m doing), a creepy black liquid started dripping from my sideburns all down my face. It was soooo embarrassing!” As much as the spectacle of what was widely understood to be a man’s hair dye melting off of him at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington captivated the internet Thursday afternoon, no one was quite sure the liquid was actually dye. It certainly didn’t look like any hair dye anyone had ever seen before. To engage in a little informed speculation, Slate called Nicole Wingo of D.C.’s Barber of Hell’s Bottom. Despite having been a practicing barber for 15 years, she was almost as baffled as the rest of us—but she did have some advice for Giuliani and all those dealing with graying manes and sweaty brows. Our conversation has been condensed and edited.
Slate: So have you seen these pictures of Rudy Giuliani yet?
Nicole Wingo: I did actually shortly before you called, just about like 15 or 20 minutes earlier, and I had a little laugh and then went about my day. Are you guys wanting to know a little bit about what could possibly be afoot?
Yes, exactly.
That’s a great question. The hair journey that these guys are on is definitely a wild one. I think something like that is probably the result of a tinted product. I wouldn’t think that that was a demi-permanent or semi-permanent color. I would think it’s a topical product, like a pomade or a tinted gel that got really … gooey.
So this is not a product you’re familiar with or use with your clients? Would this be the kind of thing you’d buy at the drug store?
This is not something that I’ve seen on my clients. The only products I can think of that offer a color payoff in addition to a styling component are gray products that you see at the drugstore or darker gels or pomades. As far as higher-end things go, I don’t know of any topical products that have pigments in them for just like a day on the town, you know? I would guess that something like this is the $8 to $15 range.

or clear Jell-O, or something like that.
...or maybe Rudy is collecting his check later...?
...maybe he's overdue for a tune-up
Leaks out the top of his head at inopportune times.
It certainly took away any seriousness they were aiming for!
